Abstract:	Personnel vulnerability is a typical cross field of medicine and industry, which is of great significance in treatment of war injuries and damage assessment. This paper analyzes the similarities and differences of human vulnerability models based on the human anatomical structure constructed by various countries.In addition, this paper summarizes the evaluation techniques of human vulnerability from five aspects, which are the construction of human injury track caused by kinetic energy munitions, the assessment of human injuries based on AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale), the assessment of human disability based on ECV (Elemental Capability Vector), the evaluation of killing effectiveness of munitions to human beings and the evaluation of the effectiveness of individual protective equipment. This paper mainly introduces the typical damage assessment module of Operational Requirement based Casualty Assessment(ORCA) software, and exemplifies three application cases of personnel vulnerability assessment based on ORCA software. The research results provide reference for ammunition demonstrationand development, effectiveness evaluation, battlefield survivability evaluation, individual protection design and optimization.
